James Gunn is about to release Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the latest film in Marvel’s most casual saga. And, according to the same director, this will be one of the longest movies ever guardiansso that we can say goodbye to all its characters properly.
In the last few hours, a rumor about the possible length of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 began to make the rounds, with a website having posted the final footage of the film at 2 hours and 29 minutes.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be the longest film in the saga
someone through Twitter couldn’t resist asking James Gunn if this information was true, and if he really Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 would last two hours and half. The director gave a very clear answer and also provided some extra detail about the minutes that his new film would last for Marvel.
“That lasts more or less, though still not exact,” wrote James Gunn. “And, I promise, not a second is wasted. There is no padding. It was necessary to experience the full arc of each main character in Guardians, not only for this film, but also for the trilogy (or, should I say, trilogy plus).”
Who could direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3 if James Gunn doesn’t return
If we review the filmography of James Gunn reviewing the duration of the other Guardians of the Galaxy films, we find that the first installment, released in 2014, had a duration of 118 minutes, that is, 1 hour and 58 minutes.
For its part, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was the longest to date, with 137 minutes of footage –2 hours and 17 minutes-, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Happy Holidays Special only had 40 minutes Being a short premiered at Christmas. Therefore, there is no doubt that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be the longest of all even if there are small last-minute variations.
